Roseville, California Divorce Lawyers

When you are considering a divorce, each state has its own methods for the dissolution of a marriage. California state law offers three ways of ending a marriage:

Legal separation

Annulment

Divorce

Each method of dissolution has different effects. Divorce is a complete termination of a marriage, allowing both partners to remarry. Legal separation is not an end to a marriage but indicates that the couple is living apart and allows for some legal declarations such as custody and property ownership. Annulment only occurs in cases of incest or bigamy – where one partner is already legally married. In annulled marriages, the courts declare the original marriage void and it ceases to exist.

Additionally, there is an option for summary dissolution in some cases, which expedites the divorce procedure significantly.

Divorce in California is “no-fault,” meaning that there does not need to be a specific reason to end a marriage. Courts list no-fault cases as ending due to “irreconcilable differences” and, generally, neither party contests this. While the legal reason for ending a marriage may be straightforward, divorce proceedings are complicated and require careful attention to assets, custody, rights, and every family’s unique situation.

At Boyd Law, we will work with you to decide the right choice for your needs and guide you through the next steps in your procedure.

Divorce in the United States

Time reported in 2016 that divorce rates in the United States had reached a 40 year low. This is a stunning reversal of a long-running trend of increasing divorce rates across the country. Lower divorce rates, however, are little comfort to married couples undergoing their own divorce proceedings. Somewhere around 50% of marriages end in divorce, a statistic that remains roughly the same compared to previous years.

While younger generations represent many of the new marriages taking place, older couples compose the highest number of divorces. Same-sex couples following the 2016 Supreme Court ruling also represent a new group of marriages – as well as divorces.
